Hello Contestants,
Tonight at midnight Saturday May 16th three new web based forms will go live:
We have consolidated the craftsmanship forms to a single form located here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1H9t58-PeAVe29L-uh_JjKb1yQLMCpUd_w5d3r-WlBn8/viewform?c=0&w=1
Next communications:
In the next few days you will receive the following:
Your entry number - This will have an 'A' or 'B' followed by a number and will indicate the order your entry will go on stage. If you have any special requests on where you would like your entry to appear, please contact me. Come Sunday of Fanime, this is the only number you will care about.
Practice Room Request form - This form will allow you to book practice room space from the following times (Note: this is the Blossom Hill ballroom, not the civic stage)
Friday 1:00pm to 8:00pm, .
Saturday 10:00am to 12:00 and 5:00pm to 10:00pm.
Extra Stage Rehearsal Request form - This form will allow you to request pre-rehearsal time on the civic stage. These run from 9:30am to 12:00 noon and there are only 20 slots. Mandatory dress rehearsals begin promptly afterward. So you will walk the stage once before your performance.
MC appointment requests - Our distinguished Master of Ceremonies Tadao Tomomatsu may contact you to make an appointment to go over specific pronunciations and if you are using a script, details on tone, timing and the like. This is at this discretion, however he will speak to each of you the day of the masquerade.
Reminders - If we have not received your Music, releases or other forms, we will reach out and check in with you.
Thank you all,
Erik Anderson
Head of Masquerade

Its a hell of a lot of work and this is just a mess.Quote from: KuriQueenofFeels on May 02, 2015, 11:33:15 AMMy group is honestly thinking about moving our skit to Sac-Anime cause this is ridiculous.Quote from: Angelx624 on May 02, 2015, 02:13:04 AMsame... I've been checking my email every day and im like well on nothing yet... 20 days till the con thats totally not a big deal or anything...
I haven't gotten any confirmation, either....... would like to know if my group is in or not.

I haven't gotten a reply yet either. Its a little concerning, but if worse comes to worse, we register at the convention.
I'm also concerned about the "grey area" of the masquerade. I have a few video game characters, 2/3 are of Asian descent, the other is american. But since they're altogether in one skit, I think It'll be fine. Any Thoughts?
Quote from: Enkai on April 23, 2015, 07:45:33 PMOh no, I know that the rule has always been there, that's why it concerns me a little bit. I've always done Final Fantasy cosplays, so I've personally been safe but I just feel like it would be kind of dumb to start super enforcing that rule. Also, I'm really not even talking about skits either like, last year during rehersals I hung out with a Harley Quiin and an Elsa. Elsa was in a skit, but Harley did a walk on and won some sort of performance award if I remember right.
Oh, the rule has always been there, it's just been unevenly enforced. IIRC in the Portal case, that was a misunderstanding about the origin, and the marvel skit I remember was Marvel versus Capcom which is kinda a grey area (like Kingdom Hearts). But it definitely was enforced before the management change. I remember a discussion on the forums about whether Avatar was acceptable.
Honestly, I only care because there is a rule there, and it's not fair to the people that changed their behavior because of it. People were complaining about the Frozen skits last year, and the rule stayed there. That's why I think enforcement is important this year, and why I brought Frozen up, is because now there is precedent for the rule being blatantly broken, but the rule is still there.
Whether or not that rule should still be there is a discussion that should happen. And heck, just throwing the rule out this year is an option; it's Fanime's masquerade. But there is a rule there, and staff ignoring their own rules doesn't fill those paying attention with confidence (part of the reason I'm not competing anymore.)
And this is probably the most lawful neutral thing I have ever posted.
Quote from: Enkai on April 21, 2015, 12:41:39 PMOk, so I wasn't going to bring this issue up, considering it actually would make me and my friend disqualified, but. When the heck has the Asian only media rule ever actually been put into place? I know for a fact over the years there has been non asian inspired cosplays entered in the masquerade, and they have won major awards at that. I could understand it as a 'preference' to have asian only, but having it restricted to only that does seem a little crazy with how the actual convention seems to go with cosplays/ media and such.
Could you please? The MC issue is a minor one, but ensuring the rules are being followed before Fanime itself is I think in everybody's benefit. I'm guessing you don't want to deal with the fallout of telling some Frozen cosplayer who's put hours into their costume for masquerade that their costume doesn't follow the rules and they've been disqualified. Not when you could have told them that in advance. Better for you in that you don't have to deal with it then, better for them so that they know before the time sink.
Quote from: UsakoMinako on April 10, 2015, 07:59:54 PMHopefully you're right.... I would really like to stop having to check the forums every few hours for updates x.x
We may be waiting a bit while they wait and confirm their abilities before announcing anything official in order for things to go smoothly. I am betting after Sunday something will come along. This is my 13th year at masq, and I am sure that even though we are waiting longer than we traditionally do, it will be for a good reason with less headaches ^_^
